We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files, but we don’t like regurgitating press releases or asking the easy questions. No-one gets out of the Tone Deaf Interrogation lightly, so just hold still, grit your teeth, clench your buttocks and be still while we put on the rubber gloves, apply the thumbscrews, and pull out our thermometer while you open up and say ahhhhhhhhhhh… Truthful answers only or we drink your rider while you’re on stage.
Everyone joins or forms a band to get laid. Are you the ultimate groupie conquest or are you spending plenty of time by yourself with a box of tissues?
If we are guilty of your accusation in the first sentence, we probably would be playing music that is more pop oriented than old school reggae!!
We don’t want to know about the bands your press release says you’re influenced by. Take us back to your bedroom when you were 14. What band posters did you have on the wall?
Personally at that age I was really in to The Clash, and I did have their poster on my wall. They had a pretty diverse style over the course of their records that encouraged me to dig deeper in to what inspired them and find out about the old school stuff. Them and New Kids On The Block.
What’s been your worst gig and why are you glad there’s no footage of it on Youtube … yet?
Well we put so much in to every gig that they are all like live musical versions of the Mona Lisa, although someone may have drawn a sonic moustache on the odd gig here and there… I won’t comment any further about that until the tainted masterpieces surface online.
Tomorrow’s payday, so we’ve only got $A20/$US18/£14/€10 to get you drunk. Where do we go and what do we buy with it?
Straight to the liquor store for a bottle of Jager or Vodka, that’ll do the trick, at least for a little while. Then you better sneak a little more cash out of your mom’s purse for round two.
What releases have you put out? Are they million sellers or do you still have a few boxes of them sitting gathering dust under your bed?
Dirty Reggae
The Aggrolites (self titled)
Reggae Hit LA
IV
Rugged Road
They haven’t gone platinum, but we can’t afford to let any copies be sitting around anywhere, we have bills to pay… at least we can say that each recording we made went plastic.
Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another band. Who, which band and why?
I guess if my life was on the line I would go for Beyonce, she was the singer of an obscure pop combo called Destiny’s Child. Then again your one gun would probably be no match for the arsenal that her husband’s crew would have before I could get to her, so you’d probably end up shredded to pieces leaving me free to do as I please.
Then again there is Justin Bieber, she’s hot.
You’re touring Australia. We know how much visitors are afraid of our native animals, so what is your greatest fear? Getting attacked by a) a snake b) a red back spider c) a bluebottle jellyfish d) a crocodile or e) a venomous drop bear?
